Overview of the Breadcrumb control

Control in a static, dynamic, AWP and PHP page

The "Breadcrumb" control corresponds to a series of links allowing the Web user to go back into the logical tree structure of a site.
The content of this control is built dynamically when navigating "down" into the site.
Typically, you can build menus such as: Hardware >> Photo >> Digital >> Reflex.
Creating a Breadcrumb control

Creating a Breadcrumb control

To create a Site Map Path control:
  1. On the "Creation" tab, in the "Navigation" group, click "Breadcrumb".
  2. Click where you want to create the control in the page. The control is automatically created. In the editor, the Breadcrumb control appears in the following format:
To view the characteristics of the control, select "Description" in the context menu.
The "Details" tab of the control description allows you to:
  • define the character for separating the different breadcrumbs.
  • define whether the last element of a breadcrumb is a link.

Configuring a Breadcrumb control

To configure a Breadcrumb control:
  1. Display the field description ("Description" option in the field context menu).
  2. On the "General" tab, click the "Edit navigation map" button.
  3. The window for configuring the navigation map path is displayed. For more details, see Building and modifying the navigation map.
  4. Validate the navigation map.
  5. The "Breadcrumb" control is configured to be used on the different pages of your site.
Remark: The various elements of a "Breadcrumb control" field can be manipulated and modified in programming using the WLanguage functions for managing Breadcrumb controls.
Tip

Using templates

If your site uses a template, we advise you to create the breadcrumbs of your site according to the page template. Therefore, all the pages that use the template will be automatically refreshed and will use the breadcrumbs.

Breadcrumbs and types of pages

The breadcrumbs must contain:
  • dynamic WEBDEV pages only.
  • static pages and/or Active WEBDEV Pages.
  • PHP pages.
Through programming, you have the ability to mix up the types of pages.
Minimum version required
  • Version 10
